beast of burde
im trying to fall asleep but im getting sidetracked by my wandering mind as its racing from thought to thought... then i think... i should document these thoughts... just because i never do.
im being burdened by the fact that for my 21st birthday i have decided that as part of my celebrating... I want to spend it alone at my family's waterfront home on Padre Island.
NO, that is not the burden....
i mean, aside from my family's company on my birthday (which is always my number 1 wish) the next best thing is to have a weekend alone
(by alone i do mean with a slew of my most favored friends alongside, in a home on the water with a sprawling multi-level deck that extends over the warm waters ledge... close range beach access, and a plethora of island bars.
the beast of burden is that... aside from the couple people i hold in my hierarchy of dearest and most precious friends, and i do only mean a couple.... I can't think of another soul that makes me think... "i absolutely have to have this person in my company".
which is in a way both pathetic and terrifying...... in the same way that my overuse of "dot dot dot" is terrifying and pathetic. or maybe just obnoxious and incorrectly used? but it how i talk in my head... almost too thoughtful... like a james franco interview. He always looks as though he is maybe pained from thinking to hard for his most heart felt, deep, and honest answers.
i love him for it.
so, who do i want to bring besides my obvious one handed finger count.
i used to have too many options.
now iv found myself with much smaller head count.
really there is 100+ people i cant wait to spend a big weekend beach party with.
but seeing as though most those people i will never meet, don't know I exist and probably never will, this does not help
(no, it isn't bizarre that 90% of my reality takes place in my imagination, with buddies like: hotmess courtney love, gwen stefani, dean martin, james dean and elvis, betty boop, Gandhi, jimi, Patti, James Franco, Brandon Boyd, the amazing beautiful Spaniard i met a the mall this afternoon, Chelsea handler...the list really does go on)
i wish i could record my thoughts. its so much clearer in my head when i think things. Whenever i attempt to regurgitate it onto paper or typed up it just becomes a sloppy mess that doesn't make sense and is just beyond the word silly.... like way beyond. try embarrassing.
no just weird.
who isn't ashamed to be bizarre? That's me, hello.

A forever lost music industry.
So- being the avid XM radio listener that I am .. I was in my car listening to 80s on 8, when at the end of Whitney Houston's "I Want to Dance With Somebody" the stations DJ chimed in discussing a topic I think about.... guess-timation... like 4 times daily: Technology is ruining a lot about life today... and... music.
Bon jovi recently declared his opinion on this exact topic. Blaming Steve Jobs for ruining the music industry.
I don't feel totally qualified to point my ridiculing finger at Jobs right now.. but I do 100% agree with the said fact of technology ruining the experience that music brigns to everyone individually.
Kids no longer flock to record and CD stores with their allowance, or job money, put on their headphones and get totally lost in an album. I remember going to the music stores and getting CDs I'd been dying for (even tapes when I was much younger). I would collect all the cd cases because each one had a personality individual to the artist. I loved flipping through the album art.. reading the lyrics along with the songs.. even reading the artists Thank You section. It for me was a big part of growing up eventhough the trips to the music stores drastically declined in following years for everyone. It was all about downloading. Napster, Limewire, Torrents, iTunes... and it still is! Infact, you can hardly rind music stores anymore. They are around, but you wont be walking into anything quite like the movie Empire Records ever again. I hate that. Yes I do download. But do I have many other options?!
I'm one who thrives in nostalgia and what music used to be. Im very much in love with my record player and I enjoy going out and sifting through old and used, and sometimes new records anywhere vinyl is sold. I want to be attached to what it once was.
Even television. Does anyone have an explanation for Mtv? MUSIC TELEVISION. do they play music anymore? or just teen mom... jersey shore.... and other programs that succsefully consume so many people and rott their brains. and you can't tell me that the song "SHOTS!" will ever be compared to,or live up to the musicians of our past (and present, but they definitely dont get the spot light and recognition like in the past) Who were famed for the passion, creativity, soul and mind put into songs.
Technology killed the radio star.
MTV killed the video star.
i erge people to remember how much more pleasing life is when you go out and DO things. outside. inside. work, play, draw, eat, talk with one another face to face, stay involved with your hobbies and what makes you, you.
Im willing to bet soo many people that I know... if they were to stop.... get off facebook, twitter, tumblr... whatever the hell that is... they would be saddened when they realize.... Iv stopped doing things I enjoy because Im consumed with technology. Im fat because i sit infront of my technology all day. I don't have love because my relationships are supported by the internet.
anyway im getting off onto a whole other rant..

Jeremy Scott Ready-to-wear Fall 2011
This collection grabbed me at first sight! I love the fun colors, futuristic, Xenon girl of the 21st century if she lived in Tokyo vibe.
the hair and make up couldn't be a more perfect accent to this show.
Anything nostalgic i adore, especially when it take you back to either the 60s-70s, the 90's or as of late- the early 2000's bubble gum pop.
With that being said, the designer pulled lots of inspiration from shows like "Clueless".
"The more dominant [inspiration] one was the nineties. "I was thinking a lot about 1994: going to school, getting dressed up to go to parties, the enthusiasm I had," Scott continued. There was bombast to spare in his haute nineties—so joyfully vulgar you wanted to call it bas nineties—furry neon dresses in angora (a new material for the label), plastic jackets, and Manic Panic-ed pigtails. Scott mentioned Gregg Araki's Nowhere as a reference; Clueless was in the mix, too."
It's funny, I can recall countless times discussing with friends the way fashion recycles itself, and in that discussion, years and years ago we'd say how sloppy and unappealing 90's grunge was. Yet now it's one of my absolute favorite ways to dress to express myself (along with the 60s and 70s but i never discouraged those decades before). And only a few years ago, or less, I remember discussing how UgLaY the early thousands were.. with the stark silhouettes and for some reason i think big boas and glitter and board straight hair and pale blue eye shadows with either a very strappy barely there shoe, or a chunky platform in patent leather white.
Shame on me. I'm starting to really dig the 00's montage
these are my favorite looks from the Jeremy Scott fall 2011
dip-dyed pulled taught pig tails<3
color block electrifying eyes<3
all in contrast to the what seems like illuminated pale skin
<3
Want.
Xenon. Am I right?
If these do not embody 1994 then I must be a loony bird.
amazing. would I wear them? I just might.
not sure if it is a two piece, but candy colored motorcycle jacket.
love.
I would love to wear this throwback shearling jacket with the bright yellow shorts.
this model however...
the epitome of bubble gum. fuzzy, pink, clear plastic. yup
id wear it
id wear it
sooo wear it
how I wish this gem were in my possession over winter. i LOVE itttt.
I love the whimsicality of Fashion. Some hate that runway can be so "absurd". It is art and with art one should never set limits for their imaginations. Most people do not have the means or the interest to wear some of the more outlandish garments that runway usually showcases.
it's about fun! celebrate it!
